Detailed Explanation and Analysis
This was a win built on possession. Buffalo ran 79 offensive plays to Minnesota’s 46 and converted 7 of 18 third downs, while Minnesota went 0 for 8 on third down and 0 for 2 on fourth down. That imbalance shows up in the clock: the Bills had the ball for 42 minutes and 32 seconds.
Allen’s passing line was efficient rather than explosive. He completed 21 of 31 attempts for 234 yards with a long of 36, threw one touchdown and one interception, and was sacked four times for 29 yards. Khalil Shakir led Buffalo with four catches for 58 yards, and tight end D. Knox added four catches for 37 yards.
Cook did the heavy lifting on the ground with 31 carries, part of 44 Buffalo rushing attempts that produced 134 yards. On the other side, Carson Wentz completed 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards with two interceptions and backup M. Brosmer went 6 of 7 for 58 yards. Justin Jefferson finished with three catches for 58 yards on 11 targets.
Linebackers Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams each intercepted Wentz, and Minnesota lost one of its two fumbles, giving the Bills three takeaways. Minnesota’s only takeaway was cornerback B. Murphy’s interception of Allen, returned 54 yards.
